The Economic Elite Have Engineered an Extraordinary Coup, That May Erase The Middle Class

"The American oligarchy spares no pains in promoting the belief that it does not exist, but the success of its disappearing act depends on equally strenuous efforts on the part of an American public anxious to believe in egalitarian fictions and unwilling to see what is hidden in plain sight." —Michael Lind, To Have and to Have Not

We all have very strong differences of opinion on many issues.  However, like our founding fathers before us, we must put aside our differences and unite to fight a common enemy.

It has now become evident to a critical mass that the Republican and Democratic parties, along with all three branches of our government, have been bought off by a well-organized Economic Elite who are tactically destroying our way of life.  The harsh truth is that 99 percent of the U.S. population no longer has political representation.  The U.S. economy, government and tax system is now blatantly rigged against us.

Current statistical societal indicators clearly demonstrate that a strategic attack has been launched and an analysis of current governmental policies prove that conditions for 99 percent of Americans will continue to deteriorate. The Economic Elite have engineered a financial coup and have brought war to our doorstep…and make no mistake, they have launched a war to eliminate the U.S. middle class.

To those who feel I am using extreme rhetoric, I ask you to please take a few minutes of your time to hear me out and research the evidence put forth.  The facts are there for the unprejudiced, rational and reasoned mind to absorb.  It is the unfortunate reality of our current crisis.

Unless we all unite and organize on common ground, our very way of life and the ideals that our country was founded upon will continue to unravel.

Before exposing exactly who the Economic Elite are, and discussing common sense ways in which we can defeat them, let’s take a look at how much damage they have already caused.

I got up this morning at 7:22 a.m. and headed to the grocery store to pick up a few items.  On my way I remembered that Corey’s story would be in the paper today.  Yes, the Herald Leader came through for us.  I was so happy when we were told that they would definitely be able to do the story.  But I was even more surprised to find out that it made front page on Sunday’s paper.

INJUSTICE Served: The story of Corey Jackson

A woman is robbed for her purse. It is an all too common occurrence— one that happens nearly everyday, in nearly every city. How many times are they reported? How many times do the authorities catch the perpetrator? How often do they get the right person?
